چکیده

In this paper, we first introduce a symmetric phase type (PH) distribution, and then propose a symmetric exponential-polynomial type (EP) distribution based on the symmetric PH distribution. The class of symmetric EP distributions is illustrated to be so large that an arbitrary symmetric probability density function in L2(−∞,+∞), which is the space of square integrable functions on the real line, can be approximated in (−∞,+∞) by a sequence of symmetric EP probability density functions. We prove this result by means of a constructive approach based on two orthogonal decompositions: Laguerre spectrum decomposition and Hermite spectrum decomposition. We also provide a moment-based approach for simply determining a symmetric EP probability density function to approximatively express a symmetric random variable under which some moments of the symmetric random variable are given. We further propose multi-dimensional symmetric PH and EP distributions and provide their useful structures and properties. Finally, we apply the symmetric PH and EP distributions to study the probability Hough transform. Keywords—PH distribution, Symmetric PH distribution, Symmetric EP distribution, Orthogonal basis, Laguerre polynomial, Computer vision, Pattern recognition, Image analysis, The probability Hough transform.

Classification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions

Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...

Hessian Stochastic Ordering in the Family of multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and its Applications

In this paper, random vectors following the multivariate generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution are compared using the hessian stochastic order. This family includes the classes of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by which different behaviors of kurtosis in skewed and heavy tail data can be captured. By considering some closed convex cones and their duals, we derive some necessary and s...

Skew-slash distribution and its application in topics regression

In many issues of statistical modeling, the common assumption is that observations are normally distributed. In many real data applications, however, the true distribution is deviated from the normal. Thus, the main concern of most recent studies on analyzing data is to construct and the use of alternative distributions. In this regard, new classes of distributions such as slash and skew-sla...

Iris localization by means of adaptive thresholding and Circular Hough Transform

In this paper, a new iris localization method for mobile devices is presented. Our system uses both intensity and saturation threshold on the captured eye images to determine iris boundary and sclera area, respectively. Estimated iris boundary pixels which have been placed outside the sclera will be removed. The remaining pixels are mainly the boundary of iris inside the sclera. Then, circular ...
